The NFL in it's infinite marketing genius will drag this out as long as humanly possible in a 3 day window. The first night alone, all 1st rounders we see "On the clock"...10 minutes, then another 10 for "the pick is in" and probably another 10 for commercial breaks, bathroom breaks, makeup breaks and whatever breaks they can come up with. I'm not surprised they don't start at 9 am and drag it all the way to midnight with tourist commercials for every NFL city, colleges, previews of every possible "prospect", speeches by all team owners, coaches, former and current players, ref speeches, groundskeepers speeches and let's not forget beer concession speeches.. On the clock would be a 45 minutes with another 45 for the pick is in then god forbid more hype for the actual pick..and don't forget a special segment for the seat manufacturers in every NFL stadium..and stadium paint..
